After a predominance of Lewis Hamilton in the two extra sessions of official practice for the Chinese Grand Prix Formula One, where the first four positions were dominated by cars from Mercedes Benz, Lewis Hamilton believes the results of today they only serve to know how is the car hit them, not as a base against the teams that really walk the qualifying session to be held tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the morning.
According to Hamilton, McLaren has worked very well together, which could form the set-up with a perfect balance between speed and downforce, now missing only the drivers continue the good work and that the concentration remains so they can get good Qualifying positions.
Third place in the second workout, behind Germany's Nico Rosberg Mercedes GP champions Jenson Button is in a speech a little more optimistic about his compatriot, believing that the team is really close to getting the most from the car, especially deficiency in speed in long stretches, which was the main yield differential between McLaren and Red Bull and Ferrari.
Aware that other teams have not shown everything they can, the world champion still says that even under these conditions the work presented by McLaren was very well done, but regretted the lack of luck when the traffic on two attempts in which was to improve his time and possibly fight for pole position with Hamilton, traffic disrupted the slower cars.
Strong beat, but only a scare
A spectacular crash at the end of the first practice session startled the Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi, Scuderia Toro Rosso. The pilot who was at the end of training, lost both front wheels and no control went into the gravel trap. The accident caused no damage to the pilot, who is relaxed and ready to go in qualifying and credits to fail because it is a new suspension system and that these things happen, he could not think about it and gave the matter as closed. As a precaution, the Italian team will use the old model of suspension in the cars of Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari.
Controversial procedure involves about Hamilton in the Malaysian GP
Being the top category of motorsport, Formula 1 is an agreement between the pilots that can not be changed more than once the trajectory of the car as there is a fight for position, due to the risk that involves hitting or takeoff resulting from a bump, and Lewis Hamilton did just that when he was ameaçadoi by Russian Vitaly Petrov, Renault, which has generated a debate among the drivers who think that the champion of 2009 should be penalized, but that was only a warning from the FIA .
According to Rubens Barrichello, Williams, English should be punished because besides being dangerous maneuver, brings an unnecessary risk to both pilots. The Brazilian admits he is not even a rule, but it would be a more professional attitude by Lewis Hamilton if he had not done it.
Robert Kubica, Petrov mate at Renault, says the pilot of the Mc Laren had to be punished in the same race with a mandatory pit stop, for example, and pounding the McLaren driver says he has no limitation to where it's at Formula Ford, and closed around his statements.
Deception
With a share well below expectations, where its pilots could not even be in the top ten, the stinger and the disappointment of the first training with Fernando Alonso being in tenth place and Felipe Massa close behind in eleventh, while the Brazilian driver has arranged training for the race conditions, while the Spaniard burst over an engine, having to adapt.
I think Ferrari will improve their performance in official practice, although the Mercedes can bring great difficulty, because they are on an income far higher than shown in the last three races, and even walk near the McLarens, always with Nico Rosberg.
